LessonsChapter on the Mīqāts: Five Stations and Entering IḥrāmQuiz

وَمَنْ كَانَ مَنْزِلُهُ بَعْدَ الْمَوَاقِيتِ فَمِيقَاتُهُ الْحِلُّ
Translation: Whoever lives inside those stations, closer to Mecca, has the non-sanctuary (ḥill) as the applicable entry area.

Here baʿd al-mawāqīt means living on the Mecca side of the external stations. Such a resident does not normally need to travel back to one of the five distant stations to begin.

Al-ḥill is territory outside the prescribed Haram boundary, not the everyday meaning of “permitted” and not a synonym for being out of iḥrām.
